Introduction: The Sum of all Nightmares

Marc looked out from his hidden perch in the trees unnoticed as orcs passed on their march towards Hope, his home. He believe his imagination incapable of manifest a nightmare worse than this.

That was the last thing he wanted to do. All he wanted to do is see his wife. He skirted passed the midwife and went undeterred to Sonyia where she laid upon their bed perfectly still.

Cassi followed behind him her voice incapable of masking her sadness, “I did everything that I could do. I did what I could to make sure she was comfortable.”
